Non-linear numerical simulation is done on A-type super high pier by using finite element analysis software ANSYS, obtaining the node stress distribution under load in the node area taken in the sequential layer analysis of overall mode. The conclusion is mainly as follows: the change of width and thickness of cross beam exerts slight impact on the maximum stress of the node while the change of cross beam depth impacts the node stress much. From the computation, it can be concluded that proper reduction of cross beam depth is beneficial to the node stress.

A complete cast crown allows the operator to modify axial tooth contour. The margin should be smooth and distinct and its width has to allow adequate bulk of metal at the margin. The objective of this study was to evaluate, by finite element analysis, the influence of different degree of taper and marginal designs for cast crown preparations, on the stress distribution in teeth and crowns. As experimental model an upper first molar was used. The geometry of the intact tooth were obtained by 3D scanning. The tooth preparations and the complete cast crowns were designed. Models were exported in a finite element analysis software for structural simulations. Von Mises equivalent stresses were calculated and their distribution was plotted graphically. Numerical simulations provide a biomechanical explanation for stress distribution in prepared teeth and overlying crowns.

Background: This finite element analysis (FEA) evaluated stress distribution in implant-supported overdenture (ISO) and peri-implant bone using one extracoronal (ball) and two intracoronal (locator and Zest Anchor Advanced Generation (ZAAG)) attachment systems. Methods: In this in vitro study, the mandible was modelled in the form of an arc-shaped bone block with 33 mm height and 8 mm width. Two titanium implants were modelled at the site of canine teeth, and three attachments (ZAGG, locator, and ball) were placed over them. Next, 100 N load was applied at 90° and 30° angles from the molar site of each quadrant to the implants. The stress distribution pattern in the implants and the surrounding bone was analyzed, and the von Mises stress around the implants and in the crestal bone was calculated. Results: While minimum stress in peri-implant bone following load application at 30° angle was noted in the mesial point of the locator attachment, maximum stress was recorded at the distal point of the ball attachment following load application at 90° angle. Maximum stress around the implant following load application at 90° angle was noted in the lingual point of the ball attachment while minimum stress was recorded in the lingual point of the locator attachment following load application at 90° angle. Conclusions: According to the results, the locator attachment is preferred to the ZAAG attachment, and the ball attachment should be avoided if possible.

Purpose: To analyze the stress distribution and the direction of force in external hexagonal implant with crown in three different angulations. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 samples of geometric models were used to analyze von Mises stress and direction of force with 0-, 5-, and 10-degree lingual tilt. Von Mises stress and force distribution were evaluated at nodes of hard bone, and finite element analysis was performed using ANSYS 12.1 software. For calculating stress distribution and force, we categorized and labeled the groups as Implant A1, Implant A2, and Implant A3, and Implant B1, Implant B2, and Implant B3 with 0-, 5-, and 10-degree lingual inclinations, respectively. Inter- and intra-group comparisons were performed using ANOVA test. A p-value of ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: In all the three models, overall maximum stress was found in implant model A3 on the implant surface (86.61), and minimum was found on model A1 in hard bone (26.21). In all the three models, the direction of force along three planes was maximum in DX (0.01025) and minimum along DZ (0.002) direction with model B1. Conclusion: Maximum von Mises stress and the direction of force in axial direction was found at the maximum with the implant of 10 degrees angulation. Thus, it was evident that tilting of an implant influences the stress concentration and force in external hex implants.

In order to obtain a linear explosively formed projectile (LEFP) with a good flying form under large stand-off, the LS-Dyna finite element analysis software and arbitrary Lagrangian - Eulerian (ALE) algorithm were used to simulate the forming process of LEFP with a 30mm charge structure diameter. On the basis of that, the only changed factor was the curvature radius of the liner which was selected as 0.65D, 0.75D, 0.85D, 1.0D and 1.1D for the simulation of LEFP forming progress. The warhead speed-time curves and fracture surfaces of the LEFP are analyzed, with liner radius decreasing, the projectiles become more slender, and instead, the larger radius liner forms flat and wide LEFP. Slender LEFP is conductive to penetration, however the over small radius which cause the reduction of weight and kinetic energy makes fracture easily, oversize radius influence either end of LEFP that warps upward seriously , what means speed grads of both ends differ greatly .The suitable radius ranges from 0.75D to 1.0D.

We examined the effect of the design parameters of a through-silicon via (TSV) on the thermomechanical stress distribution at the bottom of the TSV using finite element analysis. Static analyses were carried out at 350 °C to simulate the maximum thermomechanical stress during postplating annealing. The thermomechanical stress is concentrated in the lower region of a TSV, and the maximum stress in silicon occurs at the bottom of the TSV. The TSV diameter and dielectric liner thickness were two important determinants of the maximum stress in the silicon. The maximum stress decreased with decreasing TSV diameter, whereas the effect of aspect ratio was negligible. A thick dielectric liner is advantageous for lowering the maximum stress in silicon. The minimum dielectric thickness resulting in a maximum stress less than the yield stress of silicon was 520, 230, and 110 nm for via diameters of 20, 10, and 5 μm, respectively. The maximum stress also decreased with the thickness of the copper overburden.

Based on finite element analysis software ANSYS, the deformation and force condition of the rubber sealing o-ring pre and post with back-up ring under different oil pressure conditions was analyzed. The von mises stress distribution of the o-ring and the change of contact pressure between o-ring and sealing interface pre and post with back-up ring under different oil pressure conditions were discussed. The results show that, the maximum von mises stress of the o-ring is smaller and the maximum von mises stress of the sealing system concentrates on the left top and the right bottom of the back-up ring after using it; the o-ring will not be extruded into the gap of the groove because of the existence of back-up ring which prevents gap-bite and prolongs service life of the o-ring; the contact pressure between o-ring and sealing interface increased, thus the sealing reliability of the system increased.

Finite element analysis (FEA) has always been an important tool in studying the influences of stress and deformation due to various loads on implants to the surrounding jaws. This study assessed the influence of two different types of dental implant model on stress dissipation in adjoining jaws and on the implant itself by utilizing FEA. This analysis aimed to examine the effects of increasing the number of fences along the implant and to compare the resulting stress distribution and deformation with surrounding bones. When a vertical force of 100 N was applied, the largest displacements found in the three-fenced and single-fenced models were 1.7469 and 2.5267, respectively, showing a drop of 30.8623%. The maximum stress found in the three-fenced and one-fenced models was 13.518 and 22.365 MPa, respectively, showing a drop of 39.557%. Moreover, when an oblique force at 35° was applied, a significant increase in deformation and stress was observed. However, the three-fenced model still had less stress and deformation compared with the single-fenced model. The FEA results suggested that as the number of fences increases, the stress dissipation increases, whereas deformation decreases considerably.

Today, an artificial tooth root called a dental implant is used to replace lost tooth function. Treatment with dental implants is considered an effective and safe method. However, in some cases, the use of dental implants had some failures. The success of dental implants is influenced by several biomechanical factors such as loading type, used material properties, shape and geometry of implants, quality and quantity of bone around implants, surgical method, lack of rapid and proper implant surface's integration with the jaw bone, etc. The main purpose of functional design is to investigate and control the stress distribution on dental implants to optimize their performance. Finite element analysis allows researchers to predict the stress distribution in the bone implant without the risk and cost of implant placement. In this study, the stresses created in the 3A.P.H.5 dental implant's titanium fixture and screw due to the change in abutment angles tolerance have been investigated. The results show that although the fixture and the screw's load and conditions are the same in different cases, the change of the abutment angle and the change in the stress amount also made a difference in the location of maximum stress. The 21-degree abutment puts the fixture in a more critical condition and increases the chance of early plasticization compared to other states. The results also showed that increasing the abutment angle to 24 degrees reduces the stress in the screw, but decreasing the angle to 21 degrees leads to increased screw stress and brings it closer to the fracture.
